FROM OVER THERE TO OVER HERE: PRINT

American publishers are making a heavy investment in Eastern bloc literature. Some of these works were in progress before the dramatic changes in Eastern Europe; others have been inspired by recent events. * Vaclav Havel has two books in stores now: Letters to Olga (Henry Holt & Co., $16.95), his jail correspondence with his wife, and a collection of essays, Vaclav Havel: Or Living in Truth (Faber and Faber, paper, $8.95). Due in June is his autobiographical ''self-interview,'' Long Distance Interrogation (Alfred A. Knopf, $22.95). * Former political prisoner Nicholas Dima writes about Romania's Stalinist nightmare and his own escape from it in Journey to Freedom (Selous Foundation Press, $16.10), published last month. Dima's book is just the beginning of a major Romanian literary movement, says emigre author Andrei Codrescu, an essayist on National Public Radio's All Things Considered. ''There is a whole generation of writers who intentionally did not publish in the official press. They called themselves the 'for-the-drawer generation'-but their works are ready to come out. There will be a wave of realistic novels, novels of the Romanian horrors.'' * Milorad Pavic, the Yugoslav author of the bizarre 1988 Serbo-Croatian novel The Dictionary of the Khazars (an elaborate work about an imaginary 7th- century nomadic people), has a new novel this month called Landscape Painted With Tea (Alfred A. Knopf, $19.95). * Next month Carolyn Kizer, Richard Wilbur, and other major American poets take a crack at translating Romanian poet Nina Cassian in Life Sentence (W.W. Norton, $17.95). * Coming in July: Bohin Manor (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, $18.95), a 19th- century historical romance with political overtones by Poland's Tadeusz Konwicki.
